Cheesy Flatbread (or Pitas)



For this cheesy bread, you'll need to select unsplit pitas or flatbread. What is Farmer Cheese you might ask?  It's almost a combination between a ricotta and cream cheese.  Technically, it's a pressed cottage cheese, an unripened cheese made by adding rennet and bacterial starter to coagulate and acidify milk. You can find it in the dairy case near the cream cheese. The combination of the farmer cheese with the Greek Seasoning will definitely hit the spot.

2 pitas (6 inch) OR 2 flatbreads
1 cup shredded farmer cheese OR a few tablespoons of a 6 oz. block of farmer cheese
1/2 t. dried Greek seasoning
salt and black pepper to taste

Preheat broiler to high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Arrange bread on prepared baking sheet and divide cheese and Greek seasoning between them; season with salt and pepper.

Broil bread until cheese melts and bubbles, 3 - 5 minutes.  Cut each pita into four wedges or slice flatbread into serving size pieces.

Serve immediately.
